WallBuilders Live!

Topic: The senate decides not to protect the rights of conscience for the first time, ever. States are stepping up to place the rights of religious conscience in their own constitutions. Guest Val Stevens of Washington state is on to talk to us about the response in her state. Lets get this going in other states as well!

Yet another case of the Obama administration saying one thing and doing another! Congressman Steve King of Iowa is on to tell us the story. The number of illegal immigrants stopped by border patrols has been falsely reported by 5 to 1. The current administration wants it to appear as if they are doing something about the illegal immigration problem, all the while they are doing next to nothing about it. We also discuss policy and the disrespect for the constitution that is becoming so prevalent. The majority of law schools around the country teach judicial activism and case law instead of the foundational document of the constitution.

Obama knows that his rhetoric must be pro-Israel, since the American people support Israel. The media is not going to call him out. He claims to have done many great things for Israel, but the fact of the matter is that his policies have been hurting Israel. Obama's actual stand is very anti-Israel, and he's doing what he can to hide it from the American people. Abraham Katsman, a US Attorney living in Israel, places this in light. President Obama is not seen in good favor with those living in Israel. They know what he's doing to hurt them. Tune in, today, to hear all about it.

General Jerry Boykin, one of the original Delta Force members, tells us all about the growing leverage radical Islamists are having. The FBI is purging all of their training documents that include anything that might offend Islam groups. We no longer know the enemy. They are also meeting with groups identified as criminal organizations in 2008, and allowing them to edit FBI training programs. Are we actually asking the enemy how we should conduct our defenses?

Sharia is finding its way into our court system. An atheist man dressed as Muhammad in a Halloween parade in Pennsylvania was attacked by an offended Muslim. The atheist filed a lawsuit, and took the Muslim to court. The judge proceeded to lecture the atheist on Islam and stated that if he were to dress as Muhammad in a Muslim country he'd be beheaded, and that he was in the wrong for dressing as Muhammad. Our guest, Bridgette Gabriel, and having grown up in Lebanon, has a valuable perspective on this. How could this happen? How have our courts become so skewed that they are actually conducting their rulings based on Sharia law?

Topics: * October Baby is a great pro-life movie coming out of Hollywood. * Jason Burkey is on to talk about his part in the movie. * Conservatives still outnumber liberals two to one. * Church attendance is the best indicator of conservative viewpoints. * In California, there is a good chance the Mt. Soledad Memorial will be defended in court. * There was a favorable outcome in the Tabor case from all 9 supreme court justices, protecting churches and religious schools' right to choose their employees.

Kirk Cameron is our guest, today. He's on to tell us about his new movie, Monumental. Our country is in a downward spiral. Kirk suggests that we've forgotten where we came from and that's the reason our country is falling into such disrepair. Monumental will take anyone who watches it on a journey to the very beginnings of our country. This steps beyond education and into the realm of motivation. What is the treasure of our country? What is this monument that defines us? You don't want to miss today's episode.

With the 2010 election, things seemed to be moving in the right direction. These past few months, however, we've seen things beginning to make a turn for the worst. There is a growing disdain for free market economy. High-schoolers don't have a good picture of how economy works, because educators fail to admit that less government involvement in the marketplace is a good thing. See and Observe the world around you. Where there is free market economy, there is greater prosperity.

There is a great difference between what we hear in the media and what is actually happening in the Middle East. It is not only important that we send a message of support to Israel, but it is important that that message is clear. What happens if Israel doesn't know if they can count on the United States for support? This could easily become a desperate situation. Terrorism is being encouraged, and US funds are going towards educating such terrorists. Congress has the ability to direct funding for what is going on in the Middle East. Lets use our power to make sure Israel isn't bullied by its neighbors.

The Christian religion has been under attack for many years in America. Removing "Under God" from the pledge is just another attempt to remove Christianity from the culture. Tricia Raymond, author of One Nation Under God, is our guest. She asks, what message would it send children if the secularists have their way? Would we tell them that God no longer has a place in our country? It is imperative that we keep "Under God" in the pledge of allegiance.

Can you imagine a large percentage of a college classroom saying that the American dream is to "have the government pay my tuition," "provide me with a job," "give me money for my house," "make sure I get free health care," "pay for my retirement," and "raise taxes on the rich so that I can have more money?" Professor of economics at Valencia College in Florida, Jack Chambless is our guest. You'll find out how educators are distorting the concept of individual responsibility. But there is good news! Students can still be taught the value of responsibility and liberty. In Jack's experience, it only takes 3 weeks to convert liberal-minded students into true champions of liberty! You don't want to miss this episode!

Disdain for American exceptionalism is commonplace in our classrooms. Know that educators are using tax payer funded classrooms to indoctrinate our students. They say there is harm in free market economy and in the very idea that the United States is an exceptional nation. They want us to apologize for having the proven results. There is, however, a solution to this problem, and author Kyle Olson explains what we can do, and how we can turn this around. Tune in, today, to learn all about it!

A school in San Jose, California bans students from wearing shirts with American flags on them. John Whitehead of The Rutherford Institute is our guest. He tells us about the case. The assistant principal told the parents that allowing students to wear an American flag might offend some of the Hispanic students. However, none of the Hispanic students were banned from wearing Mexican flags, nor any other country's flag. Only the American flag was banned.

There are many government bureaucrats who are being payed around a quarter of a million dollars, each year. Chris Farrell of Judicial Watch is our guest, today. He tells us all about the disproportionate salaries that many government employees receive. Why should a government employee receive more than an individual in the private sector? Chris talks about a specific case that is being investigated, where the salaries of staff members of a couple different government agencies are being paid about twice that allowed by the published guidelines for those particular jobs.

Another Good News Friday with Brad Stine! Today's topics include: * In California an effort to claim constitutional rights for whales at Sea World was thwarted. * A resolution in South Dakota recommends biblical instruction in the classroom. * A tenured teacher in New York was suspended for making lewd comments to his students. * The US Supreme court in a unanimous decision, upheld the separation of church and state in the right direction, by telling the government they have no business making hiring decisions for a Lutheran school.

Everyone knows someone who has been affected by crime. The prison population continues to grow; crime continues to be a problem. Sin in man's heart is the root of crime. Knowing the cause of crime, we can address what we can do to combat it. In the Bible, the victim of a crime requires restitution. And at that, something of greater value, to reinforce the notion that crime does not pay, and to compensate the victim of time and effort lost. Today in America, crime does pay. Criminals are not required to repay the full value of that which was taken, when caught. And when their crime does have sufficient severity, they are locked away and are unable to be productive. Criminals have access to three meals a day, entertainment, and government funded education. The victim pays twice: once when his property is stolen, and then again to the government to provide for the criminal. The average inmate cost the government $30,000 each year.

Congressman Trent Franks is our guest. He's on today to tell us about PreNDA- a bill that would protect unborn children from discrimination based on race or gender as it relates to an abortion. Sadly, many people use race or gender to decide whether they want to keep their child. Minorities face a disproportionate risk of being aborted, never having a chance to live their life, with nearly half of all black children being aborted before they are born. These statistics are staggering. This bill could help people to get the correct mindset as it relates to unborn children, and the people that they are.

Today, we hear the story of a high school student in West Virginia who spoke out on the topic of abortion, and turned the hearts and minds of everyone in her class to a pro-life position. She used Ray Comfort's 180 Movie as a resource. Her assignment was to write a paper on an important topic. The result of her research had a profound impact.

Our guest today is General Jerry Boykin. Freedom of religion is under attack, not just through out country, but also in our military. The Military Religious Freedom Foundation has been working to stop expressions of religion by our military men and women. They are beginning to influence the attitudes of leaders in the military to a shocking extent. General Boykin was recently denied the opportunity to speak at West Point because of their influence, denying him the ability to share Biblical messages about God and his hand over our country. God has historically shown favor on our military men and women. What happens when we no longer look to him for their protection?

Tune in today to hear critical information about the current health care system and what we can do to protect the right of conscience that is being infringed upon. The government is requiring certain religious organizations to provide and perform contraceptive and abortion services against their conscience. Take it to heart, even if you aren't affected, this is just the first step in a much larger battle. We must put our foot down and tell government, "No!" It is not government's place to force people to act against their religious convictions. Time-critical action steps are included in today's broadcast.

Steve Fitschen of the National Legal Foundation is our guest, today. He talks about Newt Gingrich's aim to put the judiciary back in its proper place. What can we do to combat judicial activism? Is Newt's approach a valid one? Today, you will get to hear about the constitutionality of what he proposes, as well as historic context. How did our founding fathers feel about rogue judges? What checks are in place to prevent an out of control judiciary?

It is important that people be educated about the constitution. College professor and author, Dr. Robert Owens is our guest, today, to talk about our government's deviation from the spirit of the constitution. What is the proper role of the legislature and of the judiciary? We've got to remember the constitution as it was intended to be used. Study the operating manual and know what your country's government was intended to be used for. You'd never dream of letting your car fall apart out of neglect, so why would we let our country fall apart from not knowing how to use it properly?

At Penn state University, there has been a moral breakdown. There has been an increasing number of cases of extreme sexual immorality, not just at Penn State but in other colleges as well. Warren Cole Smith from World Magazine talks about the recent incident and how it is that this sort of thing is happening more and more in colleges. This is what happens when you remove God from education. Education must be accompanied by morality and values, otherwise this is the result.

There's been a rising number of evangelical leftists. We need to recognize biblical principles; there are things that are foundationally right and things that are foundationally wrong! How can one claim to be an evangelical and have the political opinion in favor of abortion, or taking money from the next generation, or redefining marriage? Pastor Jim Garlow of Skyline Church, is our guest today. Pastor Garlow presents a crystal-clear perspective on this issue, and tells us exactly what we need to remain biblical in our foundation.

What is right to work? What is the freedom to associate? How about the freedom not to associate? Compulsive unionism violates a person's freedom by telling that individual they must join a group. This has become a big deal in Wisconsin and Ohio among other places. Government involvement in unions is bankrupting cities and states. Our guest today is former congressman, Bob McEwen. He updates us on the situation and tells us what needs to change.

Today on Good News Friday we go through items in David's stack: * Religious artifacts are allowed in Walter Reed military hospital once again after our friends in Congress objected to the ludicrous policy denying their presence. * Obama-care is still highly unpopular. * Our nation continues to move more and more pro-life. * The fairness doctrine, forcing radio stations to air government selected content, is out of the picture, for now. * The ridiculous "driveway tax" is also out of the picture. Also, today we have guest, Zach Freeman, on to talk about the rising voice of conservative college students.

What is the scope of government? How big, or how small? How much money should the government spend? The principles for government are given in the Bible. The government isn't to be small, but it is to be limited. The people are to authorize government in its actions. David and Rick compare and contrast libertarians and conservatives. What are these differing views? Our nation is in need of a revolution, and that doesn't mean it needs to be overthrown; it means voting and preforming our civil duties. We need to bring a new energy and drive into guiding our country in the right direction.

Today, we go to the Wallbuilders annual ProFamily Legislators Conference and hear a presentation David gave for our conservative legislators. The topic is the 10th amendment and the vertical and horizontal separation of powers. What powers do the states have? What powers does the federal government have? Today, this separation of powers is breaking down. Find out what we can do to maintain the proper balance within our government.

The majority of Americans still want clean, wholesome entertainment. Even the statistics show that. G-rated movies generate far more money than R-rated movies, yet Hollywood still presses for movies with vulgar content with corrupt morals and worldly philosophies. Dr. Ted Baehr of Movie Guide is our guest, today. He updates us on the situation, and what is happening in Hollywood. He also tells us about the demand for wholesome movies, and how much better things would be if Hollywood would just recognize this. If you're a fan of entertainment or just like movies, you won't want to miss today's program!

It's time to be thinking about the direction of our nation. By voting in the primaries you have the opportunity to let your voice be heard ten times louder. There are a great number of conservative and religious individuals with the correct biblical philosophy, yet only a fraction vote. We encourage you to use your voice! If we all speak out loud enough, we can turn this country for the good. You can make a difference!

We start off the program with some good news from David's stack. As a followup from Christmas, In Wisconsin, Christmas trees are still called "Christmas trees." Despite protest from The Military Freedom Religious Foundation, Travis AFB got to keep their nativity scene and menorah. Governor Jan Brewer was sued for trying to coordinate an Arizona day of prayer. Federal court rules in favor of Governor Brewer. Later in the program, Representative Mike McIntyre talks about the congressional prayer caucus, bringing prayer to members of our congress. Afterwords, Rick responds to listener emails, and David talks about Restoring Courage, and the victory it brought. David announces "Restoring Love," at Cowboy stadium, bringing benevolence back into the hands of the church. Tune in, today to find out all about it. You don't want to miss this one!

Today we jump into our annual ProFamily legislator's conference to hear from Mark Mix on compulsory unionism. Workers in America have been forced into union collectives, forced to accept representation they did not ask for nor choose, all as a condition of employment. Adding insult to injury the right to associate has been rewritten. Tune in both days to this two part episode to get some in depth insight on the topic. You don't want to miss it!

Prayer is such a huge component of our nation's history. It is imperative that we retain our remembrance of God in our nation's monuments. David and Rick talk about the blatant omissions of God in the visitor center. You'll also hear an audio clip of a Wallbuilder's presentation on the topic. Congressman Bill Johnson is our guest. He talks about the WWII memorial. President Obama does not want the Roosevelt prayer on the memorial. Remember history accurately and for what it was. Shall future generations look back on this memorial and say, 'by this time God was out of the picture.' Tune in today to find out more!

Comparing the two biblical issues of marriage and life, how is it that we are making such headway on life, yet we're losing our footing on marriage? We need more biblically solid men and women to take charge in the issue of marriage. The progress we're making on life shows that we're capable of impacting the culture for the positive. Lets take that energy and drive and apply it to marriage, to change the culture in all areas to the biblical examples God has given us of the way things should be. Guest, David French, updates us on where we are on both issues, and how we should stand strong in all arenas.
